A reminder of the joys of summer soon to come. The splashes of color from the umbrellas are exciting.

Magnificent, to my winter-weary eyes this is an illusion but one I can get lost in...
ps How do you make time to visit everyone when there is so many beautiful blogs to visit? how do you choose? I'm asking everyone today lol Cause it takes so long, sometimes I have to cut someone off and I hate it...so how do you do it?

This beach is so typical and beautiful; but like the circling gulls I am wondering what tasty morsels and drinks they have in that red ice chest.

@Viewfinder: Does kinda make you wonder, doesn't it? Thanks for visiting!

@Chris: Thanks, Chris. It was very warm, and this was taken last October! I could use some of that warmth now!

Makes me miss the shiny summer days. Well done.

@Reza: Makes me miss those days, too. I'm tired of brown landscapes and grey skies. I want 72 degrees, blue skies with fluffy clouds and a gentle breeze!

Thanks for your comment.

Betty, great positioning of the horizon line to allow us to see more foreground. I like the colors popping against the neutral sand.

@Tracey: The colors are what caught me eye! Thanks!

It makes me think of summer, and I can't wait for days like these. Good shot.

@standley: Thanks, Standley! I'm ready!!!!!!! Of course, I'll complain about the heat and humidity, but I'd rather have that and green landscapes.
